Information Security Survey

As part of my master’s degree in Information Security, I have chosen to research current wireless network security threats to companies in Japan.

Information security is the protection of information and IT systems from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.

The results of this survey will be submitted as part of the requirements for the award of the MSc in Information Security at Royal Holloway, University of London.

A summary of the survey findings will be made available upon request.

All information will be kept strictly private and confidential, and your responses will remain anonymous.

This survey should take no more than ten minutes to complete, and I am grateful for your help.

If you have any questions please click here to send me an e-mail.

I would like to give special thanks to Terrie Lloyd of Japan Inc Communications for mentioning this survey in his newsletter.
